The Labyrinth is an ancient path of wisdom, healing and peace that is found in many major religious traditions and cultures around the world, and dates back at least 5,000 years. The Labyrinth at St Luke's is a replica of the nearly 800 year old Labyrinth first found in Chartres Cathedral, France.
Labyrinths come in differing shapes and sizes, and have been used in a wide variety of ways, including celebrating the festivals of the year.
A Labyrinth is sometimes compared to the more familiar maze. However, they are quite different. A maze has many paths. It is used as a puzzle or game, and is a journey that engages the mind.
A Labyrinth has only one path that leads slowly to the center and back again by the same path, and is used as a form of meditation or prayer.
It is a journey of the heart that will take you 30 - 45 minutes and covers nearly half a kilometer. People often discover that walking this path will naturally quieten their mind and help them become more centred and in touch with their spiritual nature. By taking time to walk the Labyrinth, we are re-entering a long forgotten mystical tradition and opening the door to the sacred.
For some, the experience may be rich, fruitful, even dramatic. For others, it may be quiet, simple or even dry. Just to be open to receive whatever experience and gift the Labyrinth has for us individually.
